The image shows motor neurons that have been generated from human iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cells) and integrated into a 3D-printed bioscaffold. The cells (shown in red) grow inside the ...

NeuroPAL, which uses genetic methods to "paint" neurons with fluorescent colors, permits, for the first time ever, scientists to identify each neuron in an animal's nervous system, all while recording ...

Five hundred million years ago, a larva this small swam in the oceans of the Cambrian Period, its tiny form supporting a ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Nerve cells, or neurons, are the basic functional units of the nervous system. Multiple interconnected neurons form a neural circuit and ...

An incredible new study led by a team from the Scripps Research Institute has discovered a novel communication pathway between fat cells and the brain. The findings reveal that the brain doesn’t ...

Neurobiology profoundly influences our lives, impacting our health, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours (see How Our Neurobiology Shapes Our Daily Lives; Pang, 2023). Despite its importance, our ...

A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and ...

The traditional understanding of inflammation attributes the process primarily to immune cells responding to tissue damage or pathogen invasion. However, a growing body of research has revealed a ...

Shimmering, gelatinous comb jellies wouldn’t appear to have much to hide. But their mostly see-through bodies cloak a nervous system unlike that of any other known animal, researchers report in the ...
